Darn! Well, I will be herre for a couple of hours, so maybe I can hear something good.
I am thinking I wouldn't be sad to see Stevens retire, given this speech.

I think he's making the point that being pro-abortion isn't a good enough reason to vote nay

Stevens votes YES, saying that he doesn't think Alito will overturn Roe.

I wish the vote was today, Johnny. Too much time over the weekend for them to come up with some gameplan or some lie about Alito.

Uh-oh. It's the BAD senator from Minnesota...the one who ran away from DC when the terror threat level was elevated.
I know how he will vote. Time to water plants while I listen.

I guess Stevens wants a promise that Alito won't work to overturn Roe V. Wade....
sigh....
He was already in Coburn's sites because of all of his pork...now THIS....I sense tension among the GOP ranks from now on!!!

56 YEA..4 more yea and filibuster fails..am I correct? Filibuster is gonna fail one way or another. But yes, given 60 votes in favor of the nominee, the "cloture abuse question" becomes moot.
